I remove them the day after processing. Keep in mind that Weck jars are unusable for pressure canning! As I wrote on another website: I bought an All American Canner/Cooker #930 some months ago and I'm not impressed with the results so far, using Weck jars: I have faillure rates of some 20 - 40%, when using those. During pressure and temperature buildup the rings are forced more or less out between jar and lid, leaving a questionable seal or no seal at all after processing. This is the case in about everything I have canned so far: vegetables, meat, chicken, spaghetti sauce, soup... Ive used rings from Weck and some other brands but to no availl: regardless the make of the rings, faillure rate stays high. Compared to hot water bath canning using Weck jars (failure rate near to 0%) pressure canning isn't that much of a succes story so far, but I'm working on it, meanwhile looking for another deepfreezer to store all the food coming out of those unsealed jars :-). http://picasaweb.google.com/inmaken . @ Guineal Redman: when the jars are completely cold.

A couple of days and then take them off? hope you can help me with this, I made some peach pie filling and used the weck jars. guineal I have a question about the clips, after canning and the jar has cooled, how long do you leave the clips on?
